On the Republican side, a former Bob Ehrlich aide is in the lead, and for the Democrats it's Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown. but on both sides, the true leader is "undecided."

Since Brown announced last summer he was running for governor in a state that votes Democratic by a 2-to-1 margin, the lieutenant governor has been the presumed front runner to grab that party's nomination, and now a new poll commissioned by The Baltimore Sun confirms he is in the lead.

Of likely Democratic voters, Brown holds a 21-point lead over Attorney General Doug Gansler, but the poll found 40 percent of likely voters are undecided.

The Gansler campaign downplayed the poll that focuses on the June primary, saying in a statement, "There was nothing surprising in the Sun poll. The primary is more than four months away. Most voters haven't tuned in yet. We firmly believe we will come out on top in the only poll that matters, the primary on June 24."

Political analyst Matthew Crenson agrees that voters are not engaged in the race yet, and with that, he said there's a lack of enthusiasm with the choices so far.

"Nobody has really promised anything different from what we already have now. The leading candidate on the Democratic side is simply promising to be a continuation of the O'Malley administration," Crenson said.

The Brown campaign also sent a statement, but it didn't address the undecided voter result: "I'm grateful for the enthusiasm and support from people who share our vision of a better Maryland for more Marylanders."

The poll also showed almost half of likely Democratic voters are less likely to vote for Gansler after pictures of him at a teen party surfaced, where it appeared there was underage drinking. He initially said he didn't have the legal authority to intervene as attorney general.

Meanwhile, a smaller number of voters, 25 percent, said they'd be less likely to vote for Brown following the troubled rollout of a program he was in charge of the state's health exchange signup website, something Gansler has tried to exploit.

"What Mr. Gansler is going to have to do, instead of attacking Anthony Brown, is to come up with some signature program of his own," Crenson said.

As for the Republicans in The Baltimore Sun poll, Larry Hogan, a former Ehrlich administration official, is in the lead with 13 percent. Next is Harford County Executive David Craig at 7 percent. But 68 percent of Republicans are undecided.

SITUATION WITH HIS FIANCE. WE SPOKE TO RAY AND WE KNOW THEY WENT HOME TOGETHER AFTER BEING DETAINED. A NEW POLL IS SHEDDING LIGHT ON THE GUBERNATORIAL RACE. AND THE HEADLINE MAY BE ON WHAT UNDECIDED VOTERS ARE SAYING. LIVE WITH THE COMMITMENT 2014 REPORT. GEORGE? ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE BOB EHRLICH DISCIPLE IS IN THE LEAD. FOR DEMOCRATS ANTHONY BROWN. BUT ON BOTH SIDES, THE TRUE LEADER IS UNDECIDED. SINCE ANTHONY BROWN ANNOUNCED LAST SUMMER HE WAS RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR IN A STATE THAT VOTES DEMOCRATIC BY 2-1 MARGIN, THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR HAS BEEN PRESUMED FRONT RUNNER TO GRAB THAT PARTY'S NOMINATION AND NOW A NEW POLL COMMISSIONED BY THE BALTIMORE SUN CONFIRMS HE IS IN THE LEAD. ANTHONY BROWN HOLDS A 21-POINT LEAD OVER ATTORNEY GENERAL GANSLER. BUT THE POLL FOUND 40% OF LIKELY VOTERS ARE UNDECIDED. THE GANSLER CAMPAIGN DOWNPLAYED THE CAMPAIGN THAT POLL THAT FOCUSES ON JUNE PRIMARY. QUOTE, THERE WAS NOTHING SURPRISING IN THIS POLL. THE PRIMARY IS MORE THAN FOUR MONTHS AWAY. MOST VOTERS HAVE NOT TUNED IN YET. WE FIRMLY BELIEVE WE WILL COME OUT ON TOP IN THE ONLY POLL THAT MATTERS, PRIMARY JUNE 24TH. POLITICAL AMIST MATTHEW CRENSEN AGREES VOTERS ARE NOT ENGAGED IN THE RACE YET WITHIN THAT LACK OF ENTHUSIASM WITH THE CHOICES SO FAR. NOBODY HAS REALLY PROMISED ANYTHING VERY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE NOW. THE LEADING CANDIDATE ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE IS PROMISING TO BE A CONTINUATION OF THE O'MALLEY ADMINISTRATION. THE BROWN CAMPAIGN ALSO SENT A STATEMENT BUT IT DID NOT ADDRESS THE UNDIE DECIDED VOTER RESULT. QUOTE, I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE THUMB AND SUPPORT FROM PEOPLE WHO SHARE OUR VISION OF A BETTER MARYLAND FOR MORE MARYLANDERS. THE POLL ALSO SHOWED ALMOST HALF THE LIKELY DEMOCRATIC VOTERS ARE LESS LIKELY TO VOTE FOR GANSLER AFTER PICTURES OF HIM AT A TEEN PARTY SURFACED WHERE THERE APPEARED TO BE UNDERAGE DRINKING. HE NRBLELY SAID DID HE NOT HAVE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO INTERVENE AS ATTORNEY GENERAL. MEANWHILE, A SMALLER NUMBER, 25% SAID THEY WOULD BE LESS LIKELY TO VOTE FOR BROWN FOLLOWING TROUBLE ROLLOUT OF A PROGRAM HE WAS IN CHARGE WITH. THE STATE'S HEALTH EXCHANGE SIGNUP WEBSITE, SOMETHING GANSLER HAS TRIED TO EXPLOIT. WHAT HE WILL HAVE TO DO INSTEAD OF ATTACKING ANTHONY BROWN IS COME UP WITH SOME SIGNATURE PROGRAM OF HIS OWN. AND AS FOR REPUBLICANS IN THE BALTIMORE SUN POLL, LARRY HOGAN, FORMER EHRLICH ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL, IS IN THE LEAD WITH 13%. AND NEXT IS HARTFORD COUNTY EXECUTIVE DAVID KRIEG AT 7% BUT
